The Redstone family owns that property/building and all that comes with it. Not economically feasible at this point.
Don't feed the troll people, just let it wear itself out being a dumb a--. Also the appalling grammar and questionable literacy may be contagious.
Good people are losing their jobs left and right, so mustering up the slightest bit of empathy would at least be the decent thing to do. Cheers.
Jajajja....
You must be a worried GRUNT....a Worried grunt about layoffs....remember your buddy at the NOC called you a GRUNT first......
You GRUNT!!
That’s an insult that your NOC buddy , called you a grunt that knows what he is doing ...
That’s funny that he called you a GRUNT.....
And to top it off a GRUNT reptresenting the board.....
Hoooollly sht...
Hey Pal,
I can see by your grammar that you don't think much. So do this board a favor and stop hurting our brains. Thanks.
Sincerely,
The Board
Hey , buddy...
The grunts do grunt work......grunts don’t think much...
Ask , around , vendors do everything out there...
The people that think there.make bad decisions.
BTW, whoever wrote the post saying the guys at the NOC don't know how to do anything has no idea what they're talking about. There are a lot of smart, hard working folks out there who have a pretty vast store of knowledge. Don't just trash people because of bad decisions made at higher levels, the folks that work out doing the day to day grunt work know their stuff.
Btw that’s how the NOC works....
They get vendors to do everything...that’s nothing new....
Them guys don’t know how , to do anything out there....
They got new Datacenter out there....they will need help ...
It takes a long time to write up an RFP, get companies to apply, whittle it down to the contenders, etc. They only laid off a few people in those specific areas, this is a long term play, it is going to be death by a thousand cuts much like they are doing with the folks in Library, moving those functions bit by bit until there's only a couple of people left in NY and the others will all be outsourced.
They just had major layoffs. Wouldn’t they have done it then?
I had heard this was potentially going to happen but for some reason didn't think they would actually do it. Color me surprised.
Where and how did you hear about this?
